“Emptiness and fullness at first seem complete opposites. But in the spiritual life they are not. In the spiritual life we find the fulfillment of our deepest desires by becoming empty for God.”

– Henri Nouwen

“Empty me of me, fill me with you, Holy Spirit.” – My daily Prayer

Some verses to reflect on…

³² “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

⁶ The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
